Diritto, politica, religione. Temi di legislazione imperiale tra Decio e Teodosio I
by Fargnoli Iole
The religious, but also social and cultural change brought about by the advent of Christianity forced the Roman emperors to face the question of plurality of faiths and identities from the 3rd century onwards. In the essays collected here, relating in particular to the legislation of Decius, Gratian and Theodosius, it emerges how the orientation of the legislation of the individual emperors was inspired – rather than by granitic personal convictions or a far-sighted vision – by contingent political choices and dictated by the pragmatism that allowed them, in the challenge that is the politics of all times, to give immediate answers to concrete problems.
